I'm really annoyed that they removed the headphone jack from phones since I've now gone through four USB-C to 3.5mm adapters in just a month. I've tried various brands, including the official Samsung one and several others, and I've spent over 25 euros each time. I ensure they aren't under any mechanical stress as I mostly use them while sitting at my desk or on the bus. I don't want to switch to Bluetooth because I have high-quality studio-grade headphones that provide essential sound suppression, which I need due to my autism. Could anyone recommend an indestructible adapter? I'm willing to pay for something that actually lasts!

Have you thought about a cheap DAC? They can go for less than $10 on sites like AliExpress or Alibaba, but be cautious since shipping can take a while and often packages get lost! Just a heads up!
If you really want to avoid this USB-C adapter hassle, consider getting a smartphone that still has a headphone jack! You can filter for options based on your storage and RAM needs on sites like GSMArena.
Invest in a good DAC made from quality materials. It will not only last longer but will also sound better with your studio headphones. I recommend something from the ChiFi brand; I’ve been using a DDHiFi one for over two years, and it’s rock solid!
I totally get your frustration! A lot of adapters are made cheaply and just don't hold up. You might want to check out the ddHiFi TC35 Pro Eye or the Cayin RU6 – both are built like tanks and include audiophile-grade DACs, so they should hold up well, especially with your studio-grade headphones. They can be a bit pricey, going from about €50 to €150, but it sounds like a worthy investment given your needs.
Oh man, I feel you on those cheap options! My packages often go missing too, which makes waiting for those from AliExpress a nightmare. I really hope you find a lasting solution soon!
